Yeah! The final
instalment of my Bridal Expo Recaps! I feel like Peter Jackson with the Lord of
the Rings! Or Twilight... this is my Twilight post! Trilogies are so in
nowadays *chuckle chuckle*. Though technically, Twilight wasn’t really a
trilogy... or was it? They had 4 movies, but the book set, had 3 books. But I
digress... back to work. This recap deals with the rest of the vendors who
exhibited at the Bridal Expo.
Equipment Hiring & Decor
1.
Rooney’s
You know you’re Zimbabwean when
you’ve been to a function that hired equipment from Rooney’s. They’ve stood the
test of time and they just keep getting better. I loved this quote from their
pamphlet: “We’re not saying we are good because we’re 60 years old. We’re
saying we’re 60 years old because we’re good at what we do.” Happy 60th,
Rooney’s!

Dreams Hiring Services
I came across this company at work when
I was considering a certain venue for my upcoming wedding. They’re good at what
they do. I have not dealt with them personally, but from afar, I love
their work!

Oreac Events
I remember Oreac from Bulawayo, so
you could imagine my excitement when I saw them exhibiting, and telling me that
they’re also based in Harare! They do it all! Not only do they do equipment
hire, they do decor, catering, they supply PA systems, DJs, photography and
videography. Excellent!

Weddings Forever
Weddings Forever was established
quite recently, and they have done quite a fair number of weddings so far. They
are still new, but they are great at what they do, judging by their stand. They
will go all out on your wedding day, cause they are still making a name for
themselves, and for sure you will not be disappointed. They also supply wedding
gowns and wedding accessories.

Stationery
1.
P. M. Sunflower Creations
I visited their stand and I was
impressed beyond words. Not only do they have the normal invitation cards,
favour boxes and table numbers, but they also have seating charts, gift boxes,
and so on and so on. It’s delightfully overwhelming! If you want it, I
guarantee, they probably have it. They also can do wedding websites, which is
such a great help if you have family in the diaspora. So in other words, go get
that wedding website! J

2.
The Posh Paper Place
I loved the creativity of this stand.
Not only do they have amazing stationery, the owner, Denise, has such an eye
for colours and beauty. It’s great to work with someone who can take your
vision and make it into reality. You will not be let down.

Hair and Beauty
1.
Lee’s Hair Salon
They do microbonding, highlights,
blow waves, bridal styling, hair weaving, haircuts and relaxing. Go check them
out!
Address: 5 McGlew Road, Arundel, Harare
Mobile: +263 772 330 254
2.
Makeup by Nyasha
Nyasha blew me away when I went to
her stand! She knows her craft, and is truly skilled in it. I’d recommend
booking her 6 months in advance, where she tells you how to prepare your skin.
2 months before, you’ll have your first makeup trial, and then make up for the
day. That is professional! I was highly impressed!
Address: Mezzanine Floor 1, Rainbow Towers
Mobile: +263 773 827 079
PA System and DJing
1.
Premier Sounds Solution
They did the sound for the Bridal
Expo, and if you were there, you would agree that they did an amazing job. So
take that amazing...ness, and have it at your wedding. You’ll have a nonstop
celebration!

Cakes
1.
Cake Link
Cake Link has been in existence for
11 years now, and they do gorgeous cakes in a variety of flavours. There was a
cake tasting at the Expo, and I tried their red velvet cake. I now know what
the fuss is with red velvet cake. It. Is. Divine. If you’re like me and you
absolutely cannot stand fruit cake, Cake Link is the place for you. They also
do special orders, special needs cakes, and their prices are reasonable.

*Sigh* The Bridal Expo Recap Trilogy
is complete. I’m now pumped, what will be the subject of my next trilogy? Just kidding, lol. I would
love to hear from you, if you have worked with any of these vendors personally.
All these reviews were just my views from my interaction with them at the expo.
I recommend them all, if you’re planning your wedding, just give them a call,
and see whom you’d love to work with!
